Sentencing testimony in Humphreys trial

A Glynn County jury is hearing testimony in the sentencing phase of the trial of Stacey Humphreys, who was convicted Tuesday of double murder in the killings of two Cobb County real estate agents. Jurors Wednesday heard testimony from family and friends of the victims, including the husband of Cyndi Williams, and the man who was to marry Lori Brown. The defense will bring forth testimony today, hoping to spare Humphreys the death penalty. Humphreys' lawyer told the jury yesterday that his client has a mild form of autism, but that it's not an excuse for what Humphreys did.
